Bill > HB244

This bill aims to update and reorganize the state's building and fire code enforcement by moving certain provisions from one section of state law (RSA 47) to another (RSA 155-A), while also making various technical and clarifying changes throughout the statutes. Key provisions include clarifying the authority of municipal officials to order buildings vacated in cases of imminent danger, establishing a more detailed framework for local building code enforcement mechanisms, including the roles of building inspectors and building code boards of appeals, and outlining procedures for adopting and amending building codes at the local level. The bill also introduces new penalties for violations and clarifies enforcement procedures, while repealing outdated sections of law related to building codes and manufactured housing. Essentially, it modernizes and centralizes the administration and enforcement of building and fire safety regulations within the state.
